The design team of WhichPetstore.com realize the importance of a well designed, easy-to navigate site. For this reason, we have designed WhichPetstore.com as simply as possible. Whether you are looking for a specific pet product or just browsing our Selected Stores, we want you to feel comfortable during your visit. This section is a basic guide to how WhichPetstore.com can help you find the pet stores and products you seek.

The WhichPetstore.com home page consists of two main navigation bars - the upper and left-hand. Both bars may be accessed from every page on the site. In the main body of the Home Page, we feature the newest pet stores in our directory, special deals, and a selection of popular pet products.

We have arranged our Select Stores in eight different categories - medicines, nutrition, hygiene, playtime, accessories, training, outdoors, and others. Each category contains a selection of the best online pet stores for that category.

The upper navigation bar is one manner of accessing the eight categories of Selected Stores. To view the Selected Stores within a category, simply click on the category heading you wish to enter. You may also access the store categories via hyperlinks at the bottom of each page.

From the left-hand navigation bar, you can access areas other than the store categories. These areas include the WhichPetstore.com mailing list, Forums, FAQ´s, Contact Us, Tell a friend, Add to Favorites, Links, About Us, and more. To access a particular area, click on the name of the area you wish to enter.

Located at the top of the left-hand navigation bar is the Choose Your Pet Drop-Down Menu. Utilize this menu to view the Select Stores in each category that sell products/ services for a specific animal. Simply select the animal of your choice and click on any one of the eight store categories (located in the upper navigation bar or bottom page hyperlinks). The stores shown in any category carry products/ offer services for the chosen animal. You may select a different animal or all animals from the drop-down menu at any time.

If no pet is chosen from the menu, the chosen animal automatically defaults to all animals and the complete lists of Select Stores will appear at every category.

WhichPetstore.com forums are open to all animal lovers - owners, breeders, handlers, groomers, and others. Visit our forums via the drop-down menu in the left-hand navigation bar. Follow the instructions to register as a member and participate.
